values. Using the Specific setting, a user-defined value can be entered. The
path cost is used when establishing the active topology of the network. Lower
path cost ports are chosen as forwarding ports in favor of higher path cost ports.
Valid values are in the range 1 to 200000000.
Controls the port priority. This can be used to control priority of ports having
identical port cost. (See above).
Default: 128
Range: 0-240, in steps of 16
Controls whether the operEdge flag should start as being set or cleared. (The
initial operEdge state when a port is initialized).
Controls whether the bridge should enable automatic edge detection on the
bridge port. This allows operEdge to be derived from whether BPDU's are
received on the port or not.
If enabled, causes the port not to be selected as Root Port for the CIST or any
MSTI, even if it has the best spanning tree priority vector. Such a port will be
selected as an Alternate Port after the Root Port has been selected.
If set, it can cause lack of spanning tree connectivity. It can be set by a network
administrator to prevent bridges external to a core region of the network influence
the spanning tree active topology, possibly because those bridges are not under
the full control of the administrator.
This feature is also known as Root Guard.
If enabled, causes the port not to propagate received topology change
notifications and topology changes to other ports. If set it can cause temporary
loss of connectivity after changes in a spanning tree's active topology as a result
of persistently incorrect learned station location information.
It is set by a network administrator to prevent bridges external to a core region of
the network, causing address flushing in that region, possibly because those
bridges are not under the full control of the administrator or the physical link state
of the attached LANs transits frequently.
If enabled, causes the port to disable itself upon receiving valid BPDU's. Contrary
to the similar bridge setting, the port Edge status does not effect this setting.
A port entering error-disabled state due to this setting is subject to the bridge Port
Error Recovery setting as well.
Controls whether the port connects to a point-to-point LAN rather than a shared
medium.
This can be automatically determined, or forced either true or false. Transitions to
the forwarding state is faster for point-to-point LANs than for shared media.
